I love all my characters, but some do drive me crazy or they are crazy and do have to be disposed of. LOL. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding us of our secondary characters, for I've told a few of them myself.

While writing Darlin' Irish, I knew I would have to write a book about Jessie Devlin's brother Tye.
